Vampirist Fuck!

Thanks for this. It will help me get into character next weekend for Halloween. I think I have the look down, but I didn't realize the attitute was more petulant and less murderous.

He also carried off this aura of not having had sex for at least the last several years, but really really wanting to very soon. You might want to work that in, depending on how much authenticity you're shooting for.

Not sure if we're No. 9 or No. 1.

My son to my wife when he heard I was into Star Trek:

"Mom, you married a nerd."

You're into Star Trek? There's an image blown.

Although if he's into Klingon-oriented porno, his image is still intact.

Apropos of pony, I watched House of Sand and Fog this weekend over champagne with my husband (an excellent way of dividing property - drink it together). Now there's an uplifting movie.

It's now in my category of "fucking house" movies - I start thinking "It's a fucking house - what is wrong with you?". Also e.g. Howard's End. Jesus.

My worst class in college was made even worse by a vampire. I had to take a philosophy of science elective for my major. The classes all sounded really hard, except 1, that sounded just right.

SCIENCE AND PSEUDO-SCIENCE

This class will explore the inter-relationship of the hard sciences amd those areas that some believe and others do not (horoscopes, magic, etc.) Grade based heavily (66%) on term paper and related presentation. Final and class participation 33%.

This class sounded like I had achieved a zen-like complete blow off state. Freshman comp I had done a paper about the Bermuda Triangle, and evidence against any mystery. The work was done. Class participation was meaningless at my school since it had class sizes of 50-60 kids for senior level courses. I could hide out and not even go really easily.

But my dream is shattered the first day when I walk in and there are only 6 others in the class. In the next few months, I learned what people who went to real college already knew; There is no blowing off a class with 7 students in it. I had to go every day, and the prof is assigning 100 pps. of pretzel logic philosophic musings on the nature of truth each night:

"Mr. Chinaski, what was the author's main thesis?"
"Ummm, I'm not sure I get it."
"Did you do the reading?"
"Ummm, err, umm..."

But it was the presentation weeks that cause me to put pen to paper this AM. My presentation, and the presentations of others should have been an easy part of the class. People talking about crap I don't need to know, and no readings.

But one guy ruins it, a very disheveled overweight geeky guy, the kind you might see in your dorm cafeteria all year, and only see him talking to one or two others over the year. Not scruffy in a "I'm on a 2 week bender" way, but scruffy in the D&D way.

He is laughing and muttering under his breath at the presentations. When I'm up, he snorts throught it all, I'm trying to hear what he's muttering and I'm thrown off script. I was an okay public speaker, but had never been heckled before. I got the sense that his point was we were all morons for even considering our various topics- and other than the requirement of a paper and talk, he's is right.

Anyway, I did get through it, and felt I had locked up my 2.5. I was sort of pissed that he had made a day that should have been easy, a stressful experience, but I was ready to move on, until....

He comes in for his presentation dressed in a cape with his naturally greasy hair slicked back with added grease. His presentation is on vampires. He proceeds to try and prove vampires exist, and are all around us. In fact, he is a vampire (in a 10 AM class?). I was, of course, too polite to heckle back, but shocked by his gall for having mocked me.

Then I got it. He lived the alternative life. We were tourists- he a native. Maybe, having found what he seemed to really believe a true area of the "fake" sciences, he felt he needed to make clear the other areas were VERY fake as compensation.

Still, to this day, and although I am a progressive person, I do not believe I will give the next vampire I meet a fair shake. I feel they are close-minded and rude.

Mary Cheney is a vampire.

I can definitely work in desperately wanting sex.

Sorry. I realized that shortly after I posted. Please feel free to call me a copycat.

C'mon now, no need to be defensive, I didn't give any hint that would have outed who this was about.

I wonder if anyone's still saying this about McNabb?

What’s interesting is that yesterday’s game showcased McNabb as McMediocre. Not sure if anyone will apologize to Rush though. Certainly not the elitist idiots in the media.

Those little crybabies got their undies ruffled not because Rush said anything about McNabb but because they know that what Rush really did was call them out for what they are ivory tower intellectual snob-racists. Rush said that these mediamorons were looking at color and trying to change assess the outcome based on race. And like the jackals they are that same egg-on-the-face hypocritical media are now trying to rip him a new one. Same thing with the Schwarzenegger brouhaha.

Speaking of which, McNabb should offer Rush a big thank you. After this flap, he will never be criticized in the media again. Easy example is that barely literate Chris Collingsworth was go gleeful I can only guess that he was peeing his diaper when he was praising yesterday’s especially crap ridden performance by McNabb.

Rush was addicted to painkillers at the time and a sick man. I don't know what Blue Flaming Bush's excuse was. I'm sure he'll take personal responsibility for the comment, though.
